"Let's go." Li Changzhou stood up, "As long as everyone is here, no matter how difficult the mission is, we can always find a way."
"What if we really can't find a way?" Li Qianxia asked while standing up.
"Then we'll die together."
"Wow, brother, you're so romantic~" Li Qianxia's voice was overly fake. Newest update provided by novel[f]ire
The estate owned by the Turquoise Pool group is much larger and more exquisite than that of the Black Fla Dragon and others.
Entering through the gate made of solid ice, there lies a vibrant garden with a path paved with red bricks extending through the flower bushes, leading directly to the mansion.
The mansion resembles a castle, with walls covered in rose-like flowers, and so windows surrounded by ivy-like green vines.
The "Sun" overhead was close to two in the afternoon; the mansion bathed in warm sunlight looks so bright and dazzling, yet there's a serene harmony to it.
An estate like this, even on Earth, would require a substantial amount of manpower and resources. Given the cold abyss on ice walls, one can hardly imagine the cost involved.
"Isn't it great?" Li Qianxia boasted, "Sister Yao and I have already decided that after the mission ends, we'll move this estate into the 'Honey World'; we will never live in a small cabin again."
"...The Dragon Palace under the water is more luxurious, why don't you live there?"
"Can't get sunlight there! And who wants to find a big diamond every ti they step out!"
Walking into the castle, there was a towering hall seven ters high in front.
A fireplace is on the wall facing the door, with fireplaces on the left and right sides as well. Only this makes one rember that it's below the abyss, where the outside temperature is cold enough to freeze a person.
Turquoise Pool, Si, Butterfly, Little Radish, were sitting on the central sofa set.
"Gone for so long without returning, I guessed either you were dead or you ran into the two of them." Turquoise Pool's voice carried the joy of reunion.
"When will my birth allow to be rich for once and live in a big mansion?" Li Changzhou was in good humor, couldn't help joking.
"You're not rich, but I bet every ti you're born you have great ability; more wealth is easily attainable." Turquoise Pool chuckled.
"Sweet talk."
Turquoise Pool brought her middle and index fingers together, pressed against her red lips, blew a flying kiss: "Taste it."
She then made the sa gesture with a smile toward Yang Qinglan: "Don't be jealous; here's one for you too."
Yang Qinglan lightly pouted her lips.
There's definitely anger, but she also felt the joy of reuniting with friends, like planning for a eting and spotting each other across the street, smiles already on their faces.
After exchanging greetings, everyone sat back on the sofa.
"To complete the mission, we have to explore the abyss..."
Turquoise Pool's words were interrupted by Li Changzhou raising his hand.
"Please speak." Turquoise Pool gestured 'please' with a smile, not angered, instead happy to be interrupted.
"The mission is important, but our main goal is to find a way to solve the 'Ancient God Curse'." Li Changzhou said, glancing toward Si.
Her height changed from three ters to 1.75 ters, evidently losing all the Divine Race advantages, turning into an ordinarily tall and sexy woman—the cosmic-level lodious voice should remain, but is it important?
Si said: "Since arriving here, I've been keeping an eye out for such information, and I currently have two pieces of value."
Everyone awaited her continuation.
"There's a woman nad Ophelia in the camp, holding 'Great Power - Please Close Your Eyes', a pair of hands that can cover the target's vision."
"Last ti during exploration, I noticed her," Turquoise Pool said, "it's not simple visual elimination; once the eyes are covered, the target seems to lose their soul, losing basic senses of direction."
"Sounds like it can restrain the Ancient God." Yang Qinglan said.
"But it has flaws." Si continued, "First, the Ancient God must revive, the rhombus eye appears; second, 'Great Power - Please Close Your Eyes' must be continually used, with unknown side effects; third...can't guarantee the Ancient God wouldn't redirect its gaze elsewhere after its eye gazing at us is covered."
"What's the other piece of information?" Li Changzhou asked.
A maid brought floral tea, Turquoise Pool waved her away and served tea herself to the group.
The tea poured by her white jade-like hands seed more fragrant, rated full marks for color in the blend of color, aroma, and taste.
"Last exploration, we passed an unapproachable place, guessed it's a 'Great Power', if we possess it, wearing it might prevent Ancient God from approaching."
"We already knew that." Li Changzhou briefly recounted previous events.
"'Unapproachable'..." Si pondered over the term.
Regardless of 'Please Close Your Eyes' or 'Unapproachable', neither can guarantee a hundred percent resolution of the Ancient God Curse.
Even if resolved, the side effects of both 'Great Powers' must be considered.
"Ancient God is not that simple," Turquoise Pool was sipping the tea she poured herself, "these 'Great Powers' are indeed unique, but might not necessarily defeat the Ancient God. In my view, the resolution mainly lies in the abyss itself."
"Makes sense," Si nodded, "after all, all 'Great Powers' originated from the abyss, if anything can counter the Ancient God, the abyss is most likely."
"I have an idea." Suddenly said Li Qianxia.
Everyone turned to her.
Li Qianxia smiled and said: "Should we... try to actively revive the Ancient God, let Him gaze upon the abyss? Pit wolves against tigers, see who's stronger!"
"..."
Everyone stayed silent for a mont.
"An interesting proposal." Yang Qinglan was the first to speak, "If the one reviving is not , I agree."
Li Qianxia: "￣.￣"
Thinking back to the first value ga last September, Yang Qinglan decided decisively to kill, she suspected this sentence was not a joke.
